Wall Switch No Control The Light Is Still On

That is why when dyis want to add a receptacle next to a switch it does not work.

Wall switch no control the light is still on.

So now i am stuck. If the switch fails to operate the fan try pulling the fan chains first. This is regardless of the wall switch position. As i stated i changed the switch but the light stays on constantly even without being connected to the switch as long as the breaker is on the box has three set of wires black white ground from the fixture a black white ground and a black red white ground.

If the light is off no power there a very standard configuration is power to the light then a switch leg to the switch. Light fixture troubleshooting question. What is the best way to check if there is a box in the ceiling short of putting a hole in the ceiling. I cannot understand what the wall switch does.

Unfortunately there is no obvious light fixture either place and the switches do not control any outlets. Also a three way light may always have power in the box depending on switch layout. A wall switch provides electricity to the ceiling fan when in the on position. I know i could call an electrician and may if i find out there is a box.

I recently had a dimmer switch go out on me and i replaced it with a regular switch. Last night the light just came on by itself. I have power coming off of one lead and when i cross the leads the light still won t work. The switch does not work.

1 black wire is always at 120 v and the other two always at 0 v. It does not control any wall plug outlet nor any wires in the ceiling box. It s not the same as replacing any other outlet. In some houses light switches on the wall might control individual outlets where you can plug in lamps and other lights.

No neutral only power in and out. What are my options to get the wall switch to control the ceiling fan light fixture. They re really convenient but if you ever need to replace that outlet there are some important things you ll need to keep in mind.
